Back from the Northwest...busy fall ahead.

Laura and I are back from an extensive trip to the Northwest. Years of going only to Colorado and folks telling us we need to go further west, see the northwest, go somewhere different etc. well we did.

We left July 18th and returned August 6th. Roadtrip time in the Silverado and 6000 miles in doing so,
Laura participated in a wrokshop with a wonderful artist Mara Schasteen in Sheridan for 4 days and I explored the area and the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. We then headed to Yellowstone, The Tetons, Jackson, drove through southern Idaho and all the way to Eugene Oregon for several days with our daughter and son in law. Taking in the sights of Oregon, the coast, Crater Lake and of course the univeristy was a great time.
Our 3 day drive back took us into Utah, a visit to Arches National Park and back home through Colorado. To say the least I took a ton of picturesof this new area we were in and will be posting a few from time to time. Stay tuned and check back often for that.

Looking ahead is a trip to Telluride for a stay at The Running Horse Ranch on Hastings Mesa. First though we will stop in Victor Colorado for a plein air competition that Laura will be participating in and some new scenery for me to capture. All in all it has been a treat to be out of the miserable heat the weeks we have been gone, and a blessing to be with Laura seeing all of this together.
Outlook for fall is BUSY, Laura will be in the Westport Art Show Sept. 7th-9th and please stop in and say hi, booth 71. We also have other events to be involved in, and we do plan on having a gallery show in November.
